I’ve been busy today wrapping Christmas gifts. In all I must have twenty one gifts and I have wrapped all but five. I started yesterday and finished this morning. I have a bit more shopping to do and I’ll be ready for Christmas. Next I must get out My Christmas tree and decorations for the tree. It’s raining again today. But I hope it clears soon.It looks a little brighter outside. Everyone have a Good afternoon.

@RubyHawk It’s best to do it little by little, otherwise you can drive yourself insane. Have a good night!

I didn’t intend to have Xmas gifts or put up a tree but changed my mind. I normally put up a tree first

Wow, you are plenty busy with Christmas! I just started wrapping and there's still a little more shopping to do. I don't think we will decorate until next weekend (or maybe this Sunday if we are lucky).

@RubyHawk I think our little tree is about 3-4 feet. The past few years we've kept decorations to a minimum, and I think I like it that way (easier clean up too ).

I’ll probably put my little tree up next week. It’s about two foot tall. I’m not doing any other decorating.

@much2say I like it better too. A large tree is too much to deal with.

I no longer have people to buy gifts for so I don't have to worry about wrapping.

I love doing it but after my mate passed away in September I thought I’d skip Christmas but I still have family and I changed my mind.

Haven't wrapped anything myself. Not too many people to give gifts to--and my nephews just want gift cards.

Are you a person who enjoys wrapping presents? I don't mind although I don't have a lot to wrap. I remember all the gifts we got from Santa (Mom/Dad) as a kid. There were 4 of us in all and my Mom wrapped everyone. And they were nicely done with bows and ribbons. Must of taken a lot of work
